All in a product that combines superior workability with unmatched durability, backed by a 5/50-Year Limited Warranty.

Homeowners Love It, Insects Don’t

While some soffit manufacturers allow their vents to have openings as large as 1/4˝, LP® SmartSide® vented soffit vents are as small as 1/8˝. These smaller openings help keep insects like hornets and honeybees from infesting a home’s attic. In addition, the 10 square inches of ventilation per linear foot of LP SmartSide soffit maximizes airflow to the part of a home that needs it the most. While some soffit designs can lead to paint build-up that can restrict airflow, LP SmartSide soffit is designed to minimize paint buildup and promote continuous airflow. Which makes LP SmartSide soffit a very cool product, indeed.

LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding. Beautiful. Durable. Workable.

LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding products offer all the warmth and beauty of traditional wood, along with all the advantages of LP engineered wood. Our advanced technology actually improves upon nature, creating products that are far more durable and consistent than traditional wood materials. Free of knots and common defects, LP SmartSide products resist twisting, warping, cupping and shrinking. They work and cut just like traditional wood, taking nails and screws with ease—with no special tools or protective gear required. And they’re backed by an industry-leading 5/50‑Year Limited Warranty.

Extra Protection, Through And Through

In addition to their impressive consistency and outstanding work-ability, LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding products offer the remarkable protection of our proprietary SmartGuard® manufacturing process. Every step of the SmartGuard process is designed to create the most durable product possible. That includes the application of zinc borate throughout the substrate to create materials that resist both fungal decay and termite damage. LP SmartSide products are also pre‑primed at the factory. This adds another layer of moisture protection while ensuring that on-site paint application is fast and easy.

Tested Tough

We do more than just use the SmartGuard® manufacturing process, we put it to the test. Since 1996, select LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding products have undergone brutal testing in the relentless tropical environment of Hilo, Hawaii. Hilo is the perfect place to see how well LP SmartSide products stand up to moisture, fungal decay, and hungry termites. All these years later, the LP SmartSide products continue to suffer no structural damage, while other wood siding products were totally destroyed by moisture and termite damage within three years.

Good For Business

LP® SmartSide® products are silica-free. Unlike fiber cement products, they require no special tools or protective gear during installation. LP SmartSide products also weigh less than fiber cement trim and siding, so breakage, installation costs and installation time are all significantly reduced. In fact, a Total Installed Cost Study found that crews installed LP SmartSide Siding 12% faster than fiber cement siding (Source: NAHB Research Center, October 2003). Meanwhile, consistency and lack of knots and common defects mean LP SmartSide Trim & Siding products create far less waste than using traditional lumber on a home’s exterior. And traditional lumber can’t match the proven durability of LP SmartSide Trim & Siding.

Good For The Planet

The entire LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding manufacturing process is exceptionally efficient. Our wood is obtained under strict Sustainable Forestry Initiative® standards. Our process uses the entire log, either in the product or for fuel. We add no urea-formaldehyde and use low-emitting, safe resins as our binding agents. Finally, our SmartGuard® process protects with natural materials. We know of no other family of siding products that offers our level of sustainability. So it should come as no surprise that using LP products like LP SmartSide Trim & Siding can help you qualify for green building programs. Check local codes and review the green building programs in your area for details
